Where would children get the idea that a list of spelling words was "a spell"?

Question

Seriously, this is in regards to the mermaid questions.

Answer 1

I think the influx of meramid questions has been prompted by that ABC Family movie .."Aquamarine" Aimed at young teenage and pre-teen girls, the story follows the discovery of a mermaid and her friends who ultimately defeat the town's reigning social princess and wins the heart of the most popular boy. I have noticed the increase in mermaid questions since this movie started airing a few weeks back.

Answer 2

Bahaha! That's truly cute.

They have associated "Spelling" with "Spell." They sound like pre-operational period children, and probably a deal younger than 8 years.

Answer 3

What mermaid question are you talking about?

Okay nevermind I see it now.  I don't know but I think they are really living in a fantasy world if they think there are really mermaids.  

I mean.  Really.
